Last weekend was my birthday, and I packed more tea, cake, ice cream and food into a few days than I thought was possible. I ate lunch out for my birthday itself (post here) and then in the evening we watched The wolf of wall street with a tub of Ben and Jerrys core… Read More
I love reading to Athena. I think sometimes I read for her more than for me, but I’m alright with that because I get to find some new children’s books and rediscover some of my old favourites! For the first post in this series I’m going to talk about the three that we (or I!)… Read More
A couple of weeks ago I was sent a lovely bottle of The Body Shop ‘Vitamin E Overnight serum-in-oil’ to trial before it got released in shops. It comes in a pink bottle with a pipette, and you get 28ml for £15. This new overnight oil has the highest wheat germ oil content of… Read More
Although I had a birthday dinner planned for Saturday night I wanted to have lunch with Sam and Athena on my actual birthday. The Argus are currently running their amazing dine for £10 offer, so we had a browse through the booklet and picked Coast, I called and asked to book a table for… Read More

Everyone loves getting gifts, right? I really love picking gifts and sending them too, and for the last three years have taken part in a Christmas secret Santa gift swap online. I love taking part because I get to know lots more lovely people, chat to them on twitter and read their blogs, and get… Read More
Bottle green jeans: Primark. Collar detail blouse: Primark. Boots: Newlook. Cardi: H&M. My face looks really odd in the right hand photo. Also I am pretty pissed off that this cardi has started to bobble on the sleeves after about 2 3 weeks, H&M normally has better quality than that, and I am especially piddled… Read More
I’ve been a little absent from twitter and have been posting less blogwise too, and do you know what? I’m alright with that. I was spending so much time scrolling through twitter of an evening, when actually I should have been doing things like reading, cleaning the house and eating proper dinners. Don’t get… Read More
